Aged Rum

Aged rums are the pinnacle of rum production. What are the best aged rums? These sophisticated rums are designed to be enjoyed without being mixed in a cocktail, although some rum enthusiasts use them as premium ingredients in libations. The best premium rums are served as one might serve a fine single malt scotch or cognac, neat in a fine snifter or on the rocks. The labels often contain a statement of the age.

Bayou Select (batch 1501)

From Lacassine, LA, this aged rum presents complex delightful aromas of praline, cinnamon, bitter vanilla and red apple with a hint of bread pudding, butter croissant and some smoky oak. On the palate, a sweet entry of cinnamon sugar leads to a warm mid-palate before charred wood and rich buttery notes, with a hint of maple and dark fruit. The finish features a lingering charred oak aftertaste.
